To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM F.

The present invention is an improved mode of constructing and attaching a ring or car to enameled sheet iron vessels, such as washbasins.

The flange a of the basin A is slit at a, Figs. 2, 3. A ring or ear, B, Fig. 4, having the eye b, open at its neck I) and extended at b b, is inserted from beneath in the slit a, as in Fig. 5. The flange a. is then turned to form the bead a, which incloses the extensions 1) b as shown in Figs. 6, 8, 9, and after the bead is formed the eye 12 projects therefrom, as shown in Figs. 1, 7, 8, 9, directly from the middle of the bead and in the general direction of the or ear attached to the vessel in the manner described, this being reserved to my application filed of even date herewith, and officially numbered 106,885. An essential feature of the present invention or improvement is the ring orear provided with an open neck or eye, I),

open at the neck, as hereinbefore set forth.

I claim- 1. The combination of the vessel A and the ring or ear B, said vessel having the bead a slit, said ring or ear having the open eye I) and the extensions 7) b inclosed in said bead, and the vessel being enameled, substantially as de scribed.

2. A sheet-iron vessel having a ring or car provided with an open neck and projecting through a slit in the beaded edge of said vessel, and being attached thereto by extensions inclosed in the bead, the said vessel being enameled, so that the enamel fills the space in and around the aforesaid open neck, substantially as described.
